Should I choose Rubber or Turf
Reasons to buy RUBBER:
Rubber is easier to keep clean, has excellent traction, and is slightly more durable than turf.
Reasons NOT to buy RUBBER:
It absorbs heat, and if left in direct sunlight on a warm day, it might get too hot for your dog. This is avoidable by keeping it in the shade, flipping it over when not in use, or dousing it with cold water.
Reasons to buy TURF:
Our turf has a light-colored backing on it, so it does a much better job than the rubber of staying cool in direct sunlight. It can still get hot eventually, but it will take a lot longer. Some trainers also prefer their dogs to feel turf under their feet when they're on a platform.
Reasons NOT to buy TURF:
The turf will collect hair and dirt much more easily than the rubber surface (especially if you have a long-haired dog). It also doesn't have quite as good of traction as the rubber and isn't quite as durable.
Lastly, consider the surface you are using your Cato on. A contrasting surface material (against the floor) will give your dog a clearer boundary.
